    Please only use black ballpoint pens as per exam instructions.This is likely to be confirmed on exam docket.Don’t waste precious time trying to erase this pen.Merely score out any words phrases or markings that you do not want the examiner to consider.A line or cross clearly through these will suffice.

    I believe a major part of the reason ACCA Insists on the use of black ballpoint pens is because the exams are scanned they do not want other types of ink compromising the scanning process through for example bleed ing through the paper.I would contact ACCA if you really want to use this type of pen to check its acceptability.I believe the type of pen you are referring to uses non-standard ink.
